NOTE: Adalbert LUTTER – German pianist and dance band conductor who was one of the most influential light music performers in Germany in the 1930/1940s. Born in 1896 in Osnabrück, he founded his first dance band shortly after the 1st WW in Hannover. Not very succesful, he emigrated to South America, where he stayed until 1928. After returning to Berlin, Lutter spent some time trying to launch his own dance band in the crowded jazz-and dance-music market of the Weimar Republic. In 1932, his dance orchestra began to gain recognition, becoming one of the most popular in Germany during the NSDAP regime from the mid-1930s. Its moderate big-band sound with the soft touch of the ballroom style suited the cultural administrators in the Third Reich, who were allergic to anything that smelled of American jazz. Therefore Adalbert Lutter’s orchestra was very much searched for at Berlin’s dance venues, including the Wilhelmshallen at the Zoo, the Pavilion or the roof garden at Café Berlin. His band’s vocalists were the most popular German singers, such as Eric Helgar, Rudi Schuricke, the Metropol Vocalists, the Spree Revellers or the Heyn-Quartet. Lutter was also a regular conductor at Telefunken records as well as the Deutsche Grammophon. After World War II, his orchestra was the resident band at the Berlin Radio Station. In 1961 he retired and died in 1970 in Berlin.
